European and PGA Tour General Chat Thread 2016 season

Is Willet putting too much pressure on himself, or just having a bad run?

Woods not playing in the Open is not even newsworthy really.

Probably that and fall out from winning his first major. Didnt Justin Rose struggle for a while after winning the US Open?
 
Just looked at the PGATOUR website to see the teetimes for this evening and found out that the round has started early because of the weather.

Turns out that Rory is T1 at the moment. Is he putting better, or just hitting everything to 18 inches ?

Putting a lot better - sinking putts from everywhere

Leading the field in one putts - 32 so far in the comp

Looking very very strong -

Shock. Rory putts well and he leads. Same strokes gained a Spieth so far this week on the green and he's currently 8 shots better.

If Rory putts well he wins. No debate
 
Justin Rose having a mare of a couple of holes, good to see Casey and McIlroy at the top.
 
Everytime I see Rory playing a shot, he's hitting an iron to somewhere near the hole. Furthest away has been 20 feet (from 89 yds, so somethings never change).

It's been a really good weekend for our Ryder Cup players. Lets hope it continues.
 
Some win having been 4 over thru 3 holes into the tournament! Good showing from Casey too (stunning 3 iron into the last for one last chance) but not enough to hold off the charge

McIlroy looks a completely different player when hes got some confidence on the greens, looks like hes releasing the putter so much better than recent times (maybe £250 for a scotty is a bargain ;) )
 
When Rory putts well no one can touch him - superb play and great to see that win and going to build the confidence
 
I see Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeef will be playing in the end of season series on the web.com tour in an attempt to win one of the 25 pga tour cards on offer, not sure the european tour would want to lose him across the ocean so soon
 
Casey's bottle cost me a small fortune as he was 90s when I backed him. Still made a tidy profit cashing out on Walker, Rose (talk about disasters) and Casey.

Great to see Rory playing with confidence though, it was like he didn't even notice any wind at all he was that zoned.
 
Dear Brian Harman, .......... Get on with it!




What an extended PSR

Even after his 4 practice swings he sets the club down to address the ball and then lift the club head for a waggle and a look down the line and resets it again... 8 times!
(this wasn't an isolated tough shot, this is his standard iron PSR & since the number of lifts/waggles doesn't fluctuate we can be certain he makes no meaningful adjustments during each of the resets/waggles otherwise sometimes it would be only 3 or 4 waggles)

Yer a blight on the game!
